Levey to receive a $100,000 gift

May 14, 2018

Dear friends of Levey Day School,

Levey will receive $100,000 from an anonymous national foundation that supports Jewish day schools! This gift will enable the school to increase the size of our student body and to strengthen our already robust academic programs, including in Hebrew language, Jewish studies, and the arts. (Click here to read the Forecaster’s news story.)

Levey earned this matching grant, the largest single gift in the school’s 66-year history, thanks to the support of our generous donors over the past two years. We exceeded ambitious benchmarks in overall fundraising, gifts from first-time donors, and new and tripled donations at the major gift level. Thank you to everyone who helped make this tremendous achievement possible!

This is an especially exciting period at Levey as we move from strength to strength. This weekend, we celebrated Morah Debbie Kanter’s 24 years (and counting!) of dedication to the school and care for our students. This summer, we look forward to welcoming our new head of school, Jeff Tremblay, and our new director of Jewish life and learning, Rabbi Aaron Shub. If you’d like to learn more about everything going on at Levey, please be in touch! We’re eager to count on your continued support and enthusiasm.

Levey Day School is southern Maine’s Jewish Day School for pre-K through grade five. We offer small classes, exceptional teachers, foreign language immersion, moral and spiritual development, and an exciting secular curriculum that allows your child’s creativity and love of learning to flourish.
